You have no idea what you are talking about. I spent 20 years in reatila management and I can state with authority that Wal Mart DOES pay a very competitive wage for retali work!

Your arguemnet against Walmart is just plain stupid. They offer low prices and attract low income shoppers...so that makes them bad? Get a grip. Go back to your Union Local and have a beer with your fellow trolls.

um sorry, but you don’t know what you’re talking about. It has nothing to do w/ union scale. There are retailers who are not union and pay their employees a really good wage, with great benefits and treat employees in a fair manner. COSTCO, Trader Joe’s and WINCO...to name some local area retailers.

Walmart’s business model is to attract lower income customers...no one said that was a bad thing. What is not such a great thing is that they pay so poorly that their employees rely on state assistance. THAT’s the bad thing. Why are tax payers bailing out a retailer who has the ability and profitability to pay a decent wage? I do not wish my tax dollars to pay $$ because a large private company hasn’t figured out how to provide benefits to their employees.
